Grindheim Church in Etne

During a wonderful holiday near Etnesjøen, you have the opportunity to visit some of the region's most charming churches. Grindheim Church is a beautiful white wooden church, erected back in 1728, and located on the eastern outskirts of the village. It is believed that there was church activity here even earlier - as far back as the 1300s - and in fact the area is thought to house the largest pre-Christian burial ground in the whole region, with more than 200 burial mounds. Another beautiful wooden church nearby that is certainly worth a visit is the long church of Stødle, which lies further west, closer to the centre of Etnesjøen.
